Ethylene (IUPAC name: ethene) is the chemical compound with the formula C2H4. It is the simplest alkene. Because it contains a carbon-carbon double bond, ethylene is called an unsaturated hydrocarbon or an olefin. It is extremely important in industry and also has a role in biology as a hormone. Ethylene is the most produced organic compound in the world; global production of ethylene exceeded 107 million metric tonnes per year in 2005.

4. Applications

Approximately 80% of ethylene used in the United States and Europe is used to create ethylene oxide, ethylene dichloride, and polyethylene. In smaller quantities, ethylene is used as an anesthetic agent (in an 85% ethylene/15% oxygen ratio), to hasten fruit ripening, as well as a welding gas.

5. Packing, storage , and transportation

*Packing: 12kg, 13kg or 15kg packed in the qualified gas cylinder or packed according to the demands.
*Storage and Transportation: Use, store and transport below 45C.Store in cool and well-ventilated areas. Keep away from fire, heat, sunlight and flammable substances. Handle carefully when loading and unloading to avoid damages to gas cylinders and accessories.
